9.36 Ct. Moonstone from Australia

Nestled deep in the heart of Australia's mineral-rich landscape, the journey of our radiant 9.36 carat rainbow moonstone begins long before it graces the showcase of The Natural Gemstone Company. The landscapes down under are famous for their extraordinary gemstones, revered since ancient times. Much like the legendary diamonds from Golconda or the emeralds cherished by the Incas, Australian moonstones possess a mystique and allure all their own. This particular moonstone, with its striking dimensions of 16.61 x 11.58 x 9.41 mm, is a natural masterpiece unearthed from the earth's crust, capturing within it the essence of lunar-like beauty.

As the moonstone's history unfolds, one can’t help but notice its unique optical phenomenon reminiscent of historical jewels. Famous for its adularescence, a stunning blue sheen akin to moonlight gliding over still waters, this gem is evocative of Queen Victoria’s cherished moonstones—a token of affection and protection. Our moonstone, however, holds an iridescent edge in the interplay of colors that ironically seems to project a rainbow on its semi-transparent surface, a testament to its mixed brilliant cut. Our artisans have devotedly embraced its natural beauty, amplifying each facet with precision to enhance this captivating sheen, making it a gem truly fit for modern royalty.

Our moonstone's slightly included clarity enhances its character, telling the tale of the earth's mesmerizing forces that shaped it. Similar to the famed Koh-i-Noor's journey through history, or the resplendent mystery of the Hope Diamond, the inclusions are not seen only as flaws but as narratives, unique signatures of their storied origin. The faint color intensity of this gemstone parallels the pale blues seen on a starry night, soft and inviting, promising a whisper of elegance. Complimented by its excellent polish, this moonstone reflects not only light but also a legacy—a heritage passed from nature's cradle through our expert gemology at The Natural Gemstone Company.

When one acquires this moonstone from The Natural Gemstone Company, they are not simply purchasing a gemstone; they are inheriting a piece of Earth's history and technique, like holding a dream that dates back millions of years. Whether set into a striking piece of custom jewelry or held separately as a collector's delight, this Australian moonstone is a reminder of nature's boundless artistry, seamlessly blending the wonders of the earth with today's elegant craftsmanship. Wear it as a link to the past and a jewel in its own right, a profound story molded for those who cherish the genuine and the rare.
